Just wanted to say thank you for posting this video! I recently came into possession of a 100a and 150a that were completely caked with grease that had turned to the consistency of wax. Watching your video have me enough nerve to open them up and get them spinning again! I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to checking out the rest of your content!

Im also a huge fan of the silver series. i have 8 or so 1000c and variants including super sport 1 which is silver but smoother than the regular silver. also several gold series reels. I just picked up a D7000,D4000,D1600 of the regal series that came out right after the gold series with the silent AR (the black ones) and while they're almost identical they dont have the wonderful click we all love and associate with fishing and it also has internal bail trip, but i digress. nothing beats one of these silver series reels

Thank you for this! I've inherited one from my FIL, and I wasn't sure how to employ the level...will see if it turns, but I don't think it does.

Okay this is much much much closer to the 1958 6000B I have managed to acquire. Thank you!

Holy crap I was thinking this was the closest looking thing out of their 6000s to match my childhood reel I grew up learning to fish on with my papa when you read the seriel and realized this is IDENTICAL to mine down to the year model, series, and year made. They may have even waved to each other on their way out of the factory. Incredible find for me this is. I’m trying to figure out how to dissemble and clean/grease/lube my second ever ambassadeur 6000. It’s a very early model of the 6000B… so early it has no indication of being a B stamped on the reel and also does not have a serial number whatsoever. Paid $61 for it and it came with the original manual, leather carrying case, oiler tube, and spare parts bottle. Insane find on my end.

Why do you not oil the bearings ?

Reel nice....

Definitely a aftermarket handle. If that a simon shimomura reel handle. Its worth some money. I love abu garcias. I have several. Great video...

l have one of those that still works perfectly. We bought it about 1966 with a rod for probably less than 10 bucks.

Another great reel on the highlight..keep it up sir..

I'm working on mine

I have two of these reels and have also used them since the late 70’s when I was a teenager. I was thinking about putting braid on them. Do you think these old reels would hold up to braid? I have mine on ugly stik 10ft bigwater rods and use them for big blue catfish

You said a AS568 268 o-ring. That is a 8 1/2" ID - incorrect. What is the correct AS568 number?

I need a couple crank shaft shims and the nut that holds the handle on, it was cross threaded apparently when I took the reel apart to clean it. I was wondering if you might know where I could order them from and what sizes they are?

When I come to Argentina to visit my father, we go ultra light fishing using old Vintage spinning reels. ⚘️ My father has been a fisherman since 1969 and I have been since 1993. 😀 Best regards ! 🙋‍♂️ JH 🇩🇰 Jorge Santo Scorpino 🇦🇷

What is the black sliding knob on the right side for? How is it used?

I just got a Pflueger Supreme push button model ... unused it's as old or older than me .. I'm 63,... yours looks a bit older than mine... most likely...50's

I have the AG seven got it on eBay from England a workhorse good drag pulled in a 35” bullred several decent size stingrays and a 42”&39” shark installed 50’tightline hollowcore braid 65lb top shot 100 yards you will not be disappointed at all mated on a 9ft vexan

Thanks for the video I have one that came in a box of fixer uppers not working one bail spring was bad but got it back together and it works with just one wore out spring. I did buy 2 new ones thats why I looked up your video. Good work they are kinda fiddly for a Mitchell.

Nice

I was yelling during the video. Anti reverse dog! Good videos though. Did you ever find a way to shim a bearing on that crank side?

I have the same reel but the 2200. It was my father’s. I am wondering what you used as a cleaner to “give it a bath”?

This reel is a classic!

Definitely need a in depth review if you haven’t already

That's a nice collection you have.

I just picked up my Dad’s old Mitchell 300a. I cannot wait to fish with it.

nice informative video , i may be able to get my dads running again thanks for the teaching

Very ingenious! I love it. I have all the Penn Z reels except the two ultralights. I’ve used my 706Z since the 1970s. I love that reel for surf fishing. Great video!

The brake was too tight

Them r so easy to work on

That's awesome! Thank you for watching!

Thanks for the Tutorial just got my 60s ambassadör 5000 in the mail today and i stripped it down and washed it all out regreased&lubed everything and the only difference in our reel that there was a black nylon washer below the white spacer up to the handle or bushing . Other than that pretty much the same reel ive got a single handle on mine just because om a clumbsy retriever . Their totalt worth that low $ for a reel in this condition i payed 31$ with shipping it would have been around 50-60$ if it were a 60s handle on it . Pike fishing in Emån tomorrow here in Sweden ! I actually been to the Svängsta factory back in 2003 i had an internship in Mörrum at the Fishfarmery down there . Tight lines and Thanks again for the Tutorial (cant find one in Swedish funny huh ? ) Regards Paul-Roger Nilsson South Sweden

Subscribed ,trying to find me a couple of these in good shape, like the older reels much better, so saving this video

What a great reel .classic

I have one of these cool little reels on it's way to me right now, and your video is going to be a huge help to me when I start servicing it, so thank you. 😊

Reel nice video.....

Would have an outstanding video if it was in frame a key points.

Mine the button doesn’t click when you push the button it comes right back down when you take your thumb off.

Cant go wrong with a c4, fast retrieve, good capacity, just a simple and tough reel.

My level wind does not move back and forth in the reel?? Everything else seems to work. What could it be??

Thanks for the video! I have a 763 and it's a very nice reel. Also a question....have you ever worked on a Heddon Heritage 45 Mark III? I have one with the pouch, paperwork, etc. Near perfect cosmetically and works perfectly, so the risk vs reward isn't there for me to take it apart at the moment. Still, I'm curious what it looks like inside if there's a video out there somewhere. Thx!

do you have a website? how much are your services. I have my dads vintage shimano quick shot I may want to send in.

Grew up very reliable. Never breakdown. Great catfishing reel

I have a semi-dumb question. I just got a Daiwa 1600C. It was my dad's. The handle is on the wrong side for me. Can the handle be swapped to the other side? I am afraid to do it because I do not want to break or ruin it. I want to fish with it to have some memories of fishing with my dad.

Thank you for finding the perfect reel for my Dad's vintage rod! I wish you and our Dad's would have had the opportunity to fish together.

Hey brother I’m from California. Pretty new at fishing. I just got one of those from a buddy who doesn’t fish anymore. Looks in good condition but it won’t real in. And the clicker for when you cast doesn’t seem to click when using it it reel in the line. Would you be interested in seeing if you could fix it for me?
